Sorry I'm late, I just had to take a couple of days to digest that terrible loss...

Well, injuries are certainly no excuse for this loss...

Some will say that "Detroit didn't win as much as Dallas gave the game away"... I'm pretty sure most of you don't buy into this line of thinking, and neither do I... Sure Dallas made mistakes that helped the Lions, but Detroit capitalized on them... Credit has to be given to the Lions defenders for catching the balls that were thrown to them, and at least one of them was a good play by the defender... Also, the Lions didn't collapse, Dallas did... Some will argue, that Dallas is still better, because it took an epic collapse for them to lose to the Lions, but that's BS, the better team is always the team that won and doesn't collapse... The Lions didn't play as well as they could have either, but they collectively found a way to win a tough game on the road... Congrats...

From a Dallas fans perspective, going forward, I'm still mystified by this team and even Romo... We're not dead.... I know what will be said about Romo, pretty much what people have always said, that he's a choker, and they'll use this game as added evidence... I cant defend Romo's performance on Sunday, but Tom Brady threw 4 picks a week ago, I know it wasn't in the epic fail fashion that Romo did it, but still, it does happen everyone sometimes... That said, it does happen to Romo far too much for my liking... Romo's still a very good QB, capable of playing at an elite level, the first 2 and a half quarters showed that on Sunday, but he needs to know how to switch into "bus driver" mode when he's playing with a 24 point lead in the 2nd half... Romo looked pretty healthy out there on Sunday, so I'm happy about that... Robinson had 116 yards, so it looks like we've found our #3, that's good... And the defense played pretty well against a potent offense... Dallas is still only 1 win out of first in their division in which they're currently 1-0...

As for the Lions.... You guys have a really good shot at making the playoffs! I fear the Lions winning the WC over Dallas with this game being the difference... I'm really looking forward to seeing you guys play on MNF... Detroit still has a lot of tough games left to play, but I don't see them fading anytime soon, they've definitely proven that they're mentally tough... The Lions 4-0? WOW! It's well deserved... The best thing if you're a Lions fan? Your team is young, there's a good chance that they'll be even better next year, and they should be competing at a high level for many seasons...

Thanks for all the class and hospitality that you've shown me for the past week, you guys are good dudes and good fans... Again, congrats on a well earned W...

Would love to do this again in January!

Re: Prediction: Detroit at Dallas

@ron paul, Do you think Dallas should try to groom a new QB next year or are you all in with Romo?

This is a great example of a person who is not just a Dallas fan, but is an NFL fan. A true football fan, and as such, I tip my hat to you sir.

Let me say this in response...your team is suffering through some injuries and growing pains. They had to retool the offensive line, and the secondary will need to be fixed next. However, I think Dallas has some great young talent, particularly with Tyron Smith, Felix Jones, Dez Bryant and particularly Sean Lee. Pair those players with some of the better veterans you have, and Dallas could become a very good team. And while most Dallas fans are railing on Romo this week, they need to remember that he should have never been put in that situation. Dallas had no reason to throw the ball other than fearing that Ryan's defensive scheme wouldn't be able to stop Detroit from scoring once they got rolling. The issue falls with the head coach more so than Romo.

Feel free to stop back any time, and good luck to your team in the future. You're a stand up guy, and that type of fan of ANY team is appreciated around these parts.

+1Well said everyone. Agree, that was an A+ class post Ron, thank you for that. One thing I think a lot of Dallas fans seem to forget is that this is the 1st year of a new regime and it takes time for the new systems to be fully implemented....and once they do, Dallas will be back fighting for the top in their division.
